Join us for a cozy recital of distinctive Scandinavian Songs. Mysa och Dröm features songs by Swedish composer Ture Rangström, Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, and several Icelandic songs sung in their original language.
Mysa, meaning 'to be cozy,' is the Swedish idea of doing what brings one a sense of comfort and joy. It often evokes a feeling of being together with friends and family in an informal, cozy setting. Please feel welcome to come and indulge in the luscious and dreamy atmosphere of Scandinavia.

As Galileo nears the end of his life, he reflects on the major milestones that defined him and his legacy – his trial for heresy, his scientific discoveries and the loss of his beloved daughter. Drawn from the letters and publications of one of history’s greatest minds, this opera journeys through the life of the father of modern astronomy, offering a complex meditation on the intertwining of art and science and the cyclical nature of existence.
